Bear Creek Park History

The City acquired this 10-acre tract of land for
$20,000 in 1978. Monies came from the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Fund. Playground equipment were
installed in 1980 and $8,000 was allocated from the
CDBG Fund for the construction of a picnic pavilion
in 1981.

Located just off the west border of the park is
the Bear Creek Community Center owned by Columbia
Housing Authority.
